CBT
Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You may have spent much of your life being the responsible one—balancing family expectations, caring for others, and striving to succeed while your own emotional needs went unseen. From the outside, your life may look accomplished, but inside you might feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or quietly alone. You learned early on to prioritize everyone else’s well-being, often leaving little room to understand or care for yourself.

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I help South Asian and Muslim women who feel responsible for everyone else but have no space left for themselves.
From the outside, you may look like you have it together. You are dependable, capable, and the person others turn to when something goes wrong. But privately, you are exhausted. You replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, struggle to say no, and feel guilty slowing down.
Many of my clients carry the weight of family expectations, caregiving roles, cultural pressures, and the belief that their needs should come last. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, resentment, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
In therapy, we look beyond surface-level coping and explore the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry. Together, we create space for your needs, your voice, and a way of living that feels more balanced and sustainable.
I offer private pay telehealth therapy throughout California.
